To us an art gallery should feel welcoming to both artists and art buyers. Art galleries in Cape Town are abundant. Cape Town has long been a place where creative people congregate and find inspiration.
Our artists are all passionate about their art-making process, and are inspired to create in this beautiful country of ours, our dear South Africa.
